The Arro app and Artie

The Arro app is where you apply for, use and pay the Arro Card. It also holds the short finance lessons that unlock credit limit increases, an AI money coach called Artie, and spending insights drawn from your linked bank account. Parts of the app are free to use without the card.

Lessons that change your account

This is the unusual part of Arro. Completing a lesson or task can raise your credit limit on the spot, and reviewers say some lessons lower your APR instead. Details on the amounts are in Arro credit limit increases.

Artie, the AI money coach

Artie answers money questions, gives budgeting help and offers tips based on your account. Treat it as general education. It is a chatbot, not a licensed adviser, and it cannot fix account problems. For those you still need Arro customer service.

Using the app without the card

Arro describes a free experience for everyone: lessons, tools and credit tips with no card required, with the option to apply when you are ready. If you were declined, this is one way to stay in Arro's system. The other is the paid Arro Credit Builder.
